Senate demands comprehensive report of Borno attacks

The Senate Yesteday, Tuesday demanded a comprehensive account of the devastating attacks carried out by suspected members of Boko Haram in parts of Borno State on Monday, killing  scores of people and destroying properties, among which is five military aircraft.

The senate was forced to reschedule its meeting with Service Chiefs due to the attacks.

The crucial meeting was scheduled to allow the Service Chiefs to brief the Senate on security situation in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe States especially the ongoing emergency rule in the states.
The briefing, Senate Leader, Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba said, would now take place on Thursday, 5th of December.

Ndoma-Egba who moved a motion to reschedule the briefing told his colleagues that the Service Chiefs expected to appear and brief the Senate were said to have moved to Borno state to observe things for themselves.
He noted that “because of the massive security breach that occurred in Borno state yesterday” and the need for the Service Chiefs to be on top of the situation, the briefing would be differed until Thursday, December 5th.

The Senate Leader noted that apart from the effect of the ongoing emergency rule in the three North Eastern states, “the Senate will demand a comprehensive account of the massive bombings in Borno State  from the Service Chief.
Ndoma-Egba described the incident as “most unfortunate.”
Fundamentalists, suspected to be members of the Boko Haram insurgents on the early hours of Monday launched a vicious attack on military establishments in Borno State.
